Stoic WPIAL grad Amanda Kalin enjoys moment in the sun at Duquesne

By Amanda Kalin’s standards, it was an emotional outburst. I mean, the normally stoic Duquesne guard jumped up and down. Twice!

Tim Benz: ‘Airing of Grievances’ after Steelers suffer first loss of 2020. Offensive imbalance, defensive fade
